I was welcomed by a CV RR employee & told to take all the photos I wanted. He then ran a GP-9 out on the Table asked if I wanted to take a spin on the Turntable. I did not have to think long on that question. We turned the table all the way around (360*) twice then ran it back in. I still have a few of the photos from that night. I was in there a good hour and had left me 8 month pregnant wife in the car. She thought I had been arrested and was very scared when I came back. Still after 38 years she still brings this up. Gee!!!! One of us was having a good time.
